Recognition

Andre Green's wonder goal was slightly overshadowed by Conor Hourihane's hat-trick and a brilliant full debut in Aston Villa's victory over Norwich City.

The Bodymoor Heath academy graduate was also named alongside Hourihane in the Championship's Team of the Weekend.

Steve Bruce is facing an unusual selection dilemma as he considers RESTING his kids for the Carabao Cup clash with Wigan Athletic tomorrow.
